I forgot to post this up when I last updated... I'll attach a pic of the chip that's in the truck now.. ATS as far a chips go are now defunct but I was hoping someone would recognise it and maybe have an idea on what it is...

Looks like a guy named Steve Cole worked for ATS and did their programming, they got absorbed by TTS if I understand correctly. Does anyone recognise the name Steve Cole and how to contact him?
EDIT: HA!!! That took some diggin!!!
TTS Power Systems

Steve Cole has been around for quite awhile. He used to hang around on PSN a long time ago. I think I've seen him on CompD also, but for some reason his screen name isnt coming to my mind right now. Seemed like a fairly smart dude from the posts I remember, but I've never talked to him myself. If his screen name comes to my mind later, I'll see if he still gets on CompD.

Thanks Travis, I appreciate that...
Is it DIESELTECH3 by any chance? I stumbled across this earlier tho it's totally unrelated to the forum you mentioned and old as dirt...

That is the screen name I remember! Good Job. I think he may have been going under the screen name DIESEL TECH last time I saw him on a forum, but I can't remember. Last time I saw a post from him he was in the Duramax scene. That had to be around 2008 or 2009ish the last time I was in a thread that he posted in.

EDIT: I just ran a real quick google search.. It seems as though a lot of people got real unhappy with Steve Cole. I don't know what he did yet, but lots of negative stuff out there on him now days. LOL

Well I sorta solved it today; I emailed a pic of it to TTS questioning it and a Vickie over there confirmed it was one of their chips. I gave her a call to discuss and she informed me they manufactured 1000s of those for various different vendors; some were programmed by them in house with "tow" tunes 60hp while others were sent blank to be programmed by the vendor. The ATS chip I have she thinks was an in house tune based on the time frame. So I guess it's 60hp; it fuels good and doesn't get the EGTs up too fast unless your obviously usein lots of long skinny peddle.. So, mystery solved... I should have listened to my dad all those times, "think before you ask Corey".....

Glen, not to disagree with what you are saying, I also (as did Aaron) thought they all came with cats, but my truck was built without one and I had it confirmed through some dealers around the United States that had experience in this area.... I only have custom exhaust on it that we built ourselves.... Hope this helps!
